Farewell Starbucks Breakfast Sandwiches

Update: The sandwiches are back and better than ever. If you’re feeling sassy, try their new secret menus.

After a mere 2% gain in 1st quarter profits, Starbucks is making several changes in their business plan in order to get the company back on track. Among the ideas: dramatically slow the pace of new store openings in the United States, increase the number of new stores planned to open overseas and shut down the 100 worst performing domestic stores.

Also, in a crushing blow to those of us who like hot grease injections in the morning, Starbucks has announced they will cease selling breakfast sandwiches.Â The Starbucks CEO noted that the sandwiches, “fight with the coffee aroma in stores.”

The company now has nearly 16,000 stores worldwide, two-thirds of which are in the United States.Â The company’s long term goal is to eventually have 40,000 stores across the world.

I absolutely loved the Starbucks breakfast sandwiches. They even had low-fat options, for those days when you didn’t need as much of a grease injection for the hangover remedy. I mean, I LOVED them and this is a CRIME and a stupid, stupid thing for them to take away.

eick, the starbucks breakfast sandwiches are just yummy in DC. You knw, where people actually take time and care with your food preparation. In NY, that junk is thrown together in about half a second, luke warm, the cheese is no where near as melty as it should be.

shatraw couldn’t have been more right. ‘baconeggandcheeseonaroll!’ from most NY Deli’s take the cake.

also, please report on those delicious hash browns from that one restaurant you love. Now there is a breakfast treat! or any time of day treat for that matter…

I kind of like the dunkin donuts sammies but you must a) get bacon b) on a toasted bagel c) be stuck in the Springfield, MA bus station on Christmas eve when all stores & restaurants/the McDonalds in the station is/are closed, and d) its late afternoon and you havent eaten yet because they oversold all the busses and you had to stand in a port authority line for 3 hours past when you were supposed to depart.
